Your correspondent just got the particu-

cured on last Saturday morning on the
public road leading from Sugar Valley to
the Nittany Valley turnpike and passing
through the Narrows of wild mountains, a
distance of seven miles. The road is very
lonely, there being no dwellings in sight
for several miles. Before dawn af day on
said morning four parties from near Tylers-
Vile travelled oyer that road ON their way
to market at Lock Haven and all were
robbed of their possessions. The first TO
reach the narrows was VIM. Ruhl he was
accosted by strange fellow who stopped
his horses and demanded his money. Ruhl
had no weapon to defend himself and at
once surrendered and gave up the money
he had with him, $3.50. The robber then
allowed him to pass and went on his way
rejoicing The next to be plnndered in the
same manner and by the same fellow was
Herman Bressler, who came along about
10 minutes later. He lost 1913. Next
came Wm. Glant~ Qf Whom the rohher got
"a, &c, apd last came Ellis Franz who had
to sacrifice his silver watch, valued at S15,
and So % in hard cash. The four were too
far apart TO be of any assistance TO each
other. The highwayman is said TO have
changed his costume after each robbery and
has not been heard of since AS the road
is not very safe to travel alone, it would be
advisable for people passing back and for
ward to go in groups and take some means
of defence along. NANOD.

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE AND DOUBLE
MURDER. "A fearful tragedy occurred
In Sugar Valley, Clinton comfy, on
last Saturday In which Isaiah Culby
and his wife, young couple, aged 80
aud % years respectively, and their
one year old babe are the poor victims.
They lived on farm in the NarrOws,
back of Washington Furnace, and in
rather isolated spot. Ia the afternoon
of the said day Mrs. Culby who is sup
posed to have been in the house en-
gagged in making preparations to attend
"A funeral on the folio wing day, was
cruelty assaulted and outraged by two
or three diabolicil villains. During
the struggle which ensued SHE received
three bullet wounds, one in the back of
the head, another IN the back of her
shoulder and third in the breast. Her
husband who was in II field near by
heard the shots and ran TO her assist
anee, and while defending his wife was
shot ia the :ace, beneath the left eye.
The Gaby during all this terrible COM
bat was sitting on the floor in the house
where it was found the next evening
Sunday crying and hungry. Mr.. Gull
by's mother, who was the first 10 dis

and daughter-in-law dead in front OF

Of the murdered couple were buried on
Monday evening. This is the most
sickening crime that has been per.

our recollection and the excitement
and Indignation of the people is at

hailing from Hublersburg have been

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-On Sunday
last, shortly after dinner, the house OF
Charles Wolf, about 2 miles east of Aa-
ronsburg, was discovered to be on fire.
Mr.. Wolf and family were not at home
at the time having gone to the bush
meeting which was in progress about a
mile further east. The flames began
their work in the attic and as the water
seemed very scarce and the people were
mostly to the bushmeeting the fire had
all the chance to make headway. How
ever, the few neighbors around sue
ceeded IN getting most of the furniture
out of the house before the structure
fell q mass Of ruins. Mr.. Wolf had
bs0n sent for and when he arrived at
his place he found the house and sever
al 6ltt buildings REDUCED 10 ashes His
loss isI..eavy as he carried no insurance
whatever. The origin of the fire re-
mains mystery as there had been 10
fire In the stove since earlv in the
morning. 1t is believed that an incen-
diary got in his work and suspicious
point to a tramp who had lounged a.
round the premises all morning
ANOTHER FIRE IN HAINEs.-On
Tuesday about midnight, tie barn on
Charles Hosterman's farm, near Wood
ward, was entirely consumed by fire,
together with all it's coptents, as well
as valuable cow and two pigs. Three
good horses perished in the flames. The
origin of the fire is unknown. Mr.. HOS
terpan's loss is heavy, his insurance ]
the Penns Valley company being very
light.

Pittsburg Chronicle: The cause of Ire.
land would gain nothing by the murder
or attempted assassination of Lord Lans-
downe or any other landlord, and those
who write threatening letters, or do any
other unlawful deed, are not the true
friends of the Irish people. An assassin
alton, always unjustifable, at this time
would be particularly so, as it would de.
stroy the advance which has been made.
1t would put Irish redemption back a
decade or more, for it would drive from
its support many who are now ardently
in favor of it. and give the Conservative
Government a warrant for the most co.
ercive Of measures.

San Francisco Post: The Rev. DR..
Burchard, free from any trace of rum,
Romanism or rebellion, called on the
President and was cordially received.
His reverence was kind enough to say
that he approved Of Mr.. Cleveland, and
that the country could not have a safer
Executive. Yet the good man declared
himself to be still a Republican, and had
the courage to lift up his voice and say
that he might not vote for Mr.. Cleve-
land, should the latter be renominated.
The President smiled, and we'll he might.
With the knowledge in his mind of what
the doctors advocacy and vote had done
for Blaine, Cleveland is to be pardoned
for looking cheerful at the news that
Brother Burchard is still a Republican.

pUsLrC DOMAIN ROBBERS.

The San Francisco Newsletter says:
Land stealing is among the worst OF
thefts and cannot too soon be punished
and rendered odious for all time to come.
It is the robbery of homes, intended not
only for the people who are now here,
but for millions yet unborn. 1t has long
been said that "Uncle Sam is rich
enough to give everybody a farm, and it
is because Of his capacity to be generous
in that direction that this country has
been filling up SO rapidly that in an in
credibly short space Of time it has grown
to the proportions Of one Of the mightiest
nations Of earth. That growth has by
no means stopped yet. 1t is bounding
on by leaps and jumps that are astonish-
ing.
An all.wise Providence reserved this
Western Continent for the use of the
over-crowded populations OF the cribbed,
cabined and confined nations of the Old
World. Our Puritan forefathers set an
example in coming out from among a too
crowded people, and exercised a right IN
taking to themselves homes on this con-
tinent. That example has since re-
bounded to the advantage OF those who
have followed it. The right still adheres
to every one Of Uncle Sans children.
1t ought not to be abrogated. weakened
or forfeited in our day if the Government
can help it. The time will come, and
com all too soon, when the national do
main will be exhausted-when there will
be no more homesteads and no more
farms to give away.
Meanwhile it is the highest duty OF
the Government to see that the estate
which it holds in trust is not wastefully
administered and is not permitted to be
stolen. A very jealous and protecting
eye needs to be kept on that estate. The
hunger of some Of the rich men Of the
period is Unsuitable. They seek TO grab
that which they cannot use, and which
they cannot take with them where they
are going. They should be restrained
by the heavy hand of the law, and by all
the power that Congress has or can con-
fer upon the Executive branch Of the
Government.
The present Administration appears to
be alive to it's duty in the premises. 1t
has reached out its long arm to the Pa.
ci6c Coast, and right here in San Fran.
cisco a nest of thieves has been dis
covered, who seem in a fair way to real.
ize hat the ways of the transgressor are
hard. That there should be strenuous
efforts put forth to shield the bandits is
not at all surprising. 1t was ever thus.
They have money and the power which
it too often buys. They hope to escape.
and without making restitution, and per-
haps they will. But if they do, honest
people will want to know how and by
whose aid their escape has been rendered
possible.
